Kenny Chesney is hitting the road in 2009 in a big way with his Sun City Stadium Carnival tour, which kicks off May 2 in Dallas. The tour will feature special guests Sugarland, Montgomery Gentry, Miranda Lambert and Lady Antebellum.Not only is Chesney packing in fun in the sun, but so are the fans. Chesney’s Aug. 15 show in Boston sold out in less than 10 minutes, as fans are ready to fill up Gillette Stadium.  “There's something that happens when we're on those big stages,” Chesney admitted. “You get to where you can really feel the back row…those people all the way back…like you were in a club on a really hot night…and there's no way to really put that into words, but those shows, they're something else. And as long as we've got cities where we know we can bring the biggest tent, then we're gonna keep doing it.”The Country Music star isn’t forgetting the smaller venues, as he plans to play in amphitheaters and other venues, including all-day music festivals to mix it up.Kenny Chesney's Sun City Stadium Carnival:* May 2          Pizza Hut Park, Dallas, Texas* May 23        Crew Stadium, Columbus, OhioMay 30          Papa Johns Cardinal Stadium, Louisville, KentuckyJune 6            Heinz Field, Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaJune 13          Soldier Field, Chicago, IllinoisJune 27          Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania* July 18        AT&T Park, San Francisco, California* July 23        Rio Tinto Stadium, Salt Lake City, UtahAugust 1        Qwest Field, Seattle, WashingtonAugust 15      Gillette Stadiums, Foxboro, MAAugust  22     Ford Field, Detroit, MichiganSept. 19          Lucas Oil Field, Indianapolis, Indiana*show does not include Montgomery GentryA full tour schedule is available on www.kennychesney.com.
